[boatman]

an now doubled up to make into a plugin system to feed power to 02 deck

[boatman]

an here they are all built togeather an with plugs for a junckion box under 02 deck

[boatman]

an the plug has been fitted on the under side of 02 deck again with screws holdin it in place so if any probs it can all be taken out with out damegin the model

[boatman]

an last pic for now in this pic ive cut out a W/T door so that I can pass all the wirein from inside the main S/S to test all 25 wires with a circuit tester to see if all will pass the electric current ok an they do ok

Hi Chris
Just had a catch up. Amazing planning and work. I wouldn't know where to start and to be honest I don't understand how all this electronic stuff works.
Doesn't stop me from being very impressed.

THANKS Jim im feeling my way as I build this S/S as it may have to be altered again but will see further in the build but at least the power wires are there so that's something as it would be very difficult to fit all these if I went ahead an just built every thing

This is a fascinating build. I think a large aspect of the creative hobbies is the time spent in bed, in the shower, or going to the shops when we think through all the technical aspects of how are we going to do this or that. What has to be born in mind for the next step in the process and how will the subsequent steps be affected. It looks like this project is providing you with countless little challenges that you are skillfully working your way through.

Bravo

Just quality. Way beyond my skill level but I am learning much.

HI John thank you for stopping an havin a look at what in tryin to build here an yes its givein me countless little challenges all right an im really enjoyin every minute of it as I relish the challenges I have just spent all day since 9am to about 5pm tryin to fit in them modular connecters plugs on 02 deck an boy was it awkward the bleedin little pins would not just line up an insert themselves when I treid to fit 02 deck back onto 01 deck but with a little bit of patience I got there an they now mate up how they should have done hrs ago but I may have a rethink on them later an cut them off an fit two 25 pin D connectors plugs which may be eastier to fit an thank you for your nice comments cheers

Hey Chris
Awesome work on the electrics. It all looks very complicated, and I’m sure I don’t know where all those wires are leading, or what they will do in the finished model, but I’m glad you do! Fascinating seeing this ship being brought to life.
